- Heart failure (HF) is a condition where the heart doesn't work well, and it affects other organs, especially the liver, making it a serious illness.
- The article looks at how problems in the heart can lead to liver issues, and how tests like liver stiffness measurement (LSM) can help doctors understand and treat this connection.
- Researchers are studying different tests and scores based on liver health to see how well they can predict problems for HF patients, but more research is needed to see how these tests work together.
